@peach414144- Good morning Peach. I hope that you are feeling much better now. You are right, beyond a certain age some physicians don't want to waste their time on the elderly. I am so glad that you have spoken out, more mature people should. Perhaps that would change things. I am glad that you survived and I absolutely agree that being treated with respect so that our dignity is held in high regard.I want to be treated like a person of some value and not a pig in a pen with a tag in it's ear.

Thank you. I need to add this other important serious item. The doctor made me feel as if he was not even trying to help me and I became very, very anxious. It took much determination on my part to cope with this. BUT; Perhaps another person would have given up and then perhaps died? Sorry t burden you with this but it needed to be said. Peach 82 and still breathing.
